I was using a 7.7 x 10.5 elliptical coil on the Gold and a Super Six on the Warrior. (These coils continue to amaze me !!) I hunted an 1870s house that I had went over with the Gold that I sold. Took a Warrior and put a Super Six on it and slowed the swing way down and got a few more good targets. The blurry target that is hard to see is a nickel. 2 Nickels and a drop at about 8-9 inches.

8-9" is good with the Super Six.. it isn't a normal depth but from time to time it happens. The decrease in khz of the Warrior, the coil size and the slowed swing speed, were responsible for be getting those targets. I am sure with the SS on the Gold and slowing down would have got them, too. Sometimes you can go over a target and "if you ain't holding your mouth right" you will miss it regardless of what your using. I am a firm believer that an area is never truly worked out. Just more fun the harder you have to work. Where I live, detecting is not coming home with 5 or 6 silvers, a large cent, a CS plate and multiple buttons, it is working hard, meticulously, to get 2 or 3 good targets out of an area that is pounded hard or nobody hunts it because of the iron. My post of 2 nickels and a drop out of a 1870 house was considered a successful hunt by my definition.

I have tried recently to use a metered machine and I am having a hard time doing it. I am spoiled.. When I get a high tone, turn 90 degrees, swing a number of times trying to discern what the audio is telling me, I AM STOKED. Learning it is kind of like the ML Explorer language that can't be written down but only comes with time. That is detecting !!! Richard
